S.'iiiAV STATE JO URN AL. VOL. LVI. COLUMBUS, OHIO: SATURDAY, MARCH 30, 1867. NO. 49. EAILEOAD LEGISLATION. "Hi -j HfsVion of the General Assembly Is draw, ing to a close, and uo law has yet been passed answering to the urgent lewneral de-maud on this subject. The Senate has with Sjrwit'cait ami deliberation performed its duty, and laid, in the two bills it has passed, the founJation of a system of railroad legis-iation that will, if adopted, place Ohio in tin lead among the States of this country In thai matter. The responsibility now rests with ihe House. Is that to be the grave. In which nil measures of relief on this subject arc, in this General As'scmbly as In the last, to be buried? Wc hope not. We trust that it will resist all Improper interference, and prompt ly use the time yet left of the session, to cen sid.T and adopt the Senate Mils, with such Amendments thereof as may be deemed prop It hf.'i casc(l any longer to be a question f thuubtas to the propriety and necessity ol Ht'.iU'. snoervhuon of railroads, It is nuidiid for the protection tfihe public; for the pro-tcci'oc o PtocWioklers, and for thj protcc lion of honest otEcers.

TEG CKISIS COMES TO TIME, The real genuine Democratic milk is to be found in The Crhiis. The editor of the Statesman, if it has any woul, dare not say tlie oul is its own.

I he ('ri., as Muted ahuve, conn s to tune. lhc g.-iod old Democratic fadiion, when tioii, like all other advantages, has been hitherto restricted to the wealthier classes of that section. Slavery created distinctions which pervaded every department of pHhlic action, and which made quite us distinct a mark in social and educational matters as in political. While the wealthier classes could send their sons to Northern colleges, Ihe poorer whites had very poor access to common schools, and the children of the blacks grew up, of course, in ut'er Ignorance. The tln-t necessity of the Si.uth, therefore, under the new ord'-r of things, is education for the great mass of the people, and this the Tins tees of the l'eabody Kund propose to provide. In -electing Dr. Sears as the general agent for carrying their plans for this purpose into . (.-fleet, they have also acted wisely. Dr. Sears is now President of Hrown Uuitcrslty, but has given special attention for many years to Common School Education, and is iui!e as familiar with its principles and b.t methods as any one in tlie country.

In the time w hen Democratic editors had majorities at their backs, and, in the elegant language of the period and the parly, "didn't care a (the pious will plea-e close their eyes to the next word) damn how soon throat-cutting time came 1" The Crisis does not mince matters any more than if it had the majorities and all, the same as of old. It does not rebuke the party leaders for their corrupt action; it does not at'i-mptto conciliate th.; outraged Miisc of juMiee of The Westliote ; it denies nothing it, simply plunges at the victim of thin par ty outrage, and berates him savage! for com plaining of the knavish trick which thwart ed the will of (he pi-'plc and foisted candi-,'i,er, upon tlieiu TTif oi'ifkir own choosing.

He discusses the adequacy of our school agencies from a good stand point to bring about required results, trikes at follies with the directness of a practical educator, and present plainly his reasons for reform in certain departments, lie claims that the greatest disadvantage un- dr which our school system labors is educa tional apathy. The people build school houses, buy books, pay teachers, are proud of their schools, but have uo positive knowl edge of tin in. They do not visit them, do not encourage their children to attend regularly. There is no positive opposition. People support schools willingly, but do not consider it necessary to stimulate teacher and pupil to do better. One weakness of the syslun Is that too little attention Is given to Country Schools.

"Hi -j HfsVion of the General Assembly Is draw, ing to a close, and uo law has yet been passed answering to the urgent lewneral de-maud on this subject. The Senate has with Sjrwit'cait ami deliberation performed its duty, and laid, in the two bills it has passed, the founJation of a system of railroad legis-iation that will, if adopted, place Ohio in tin lead among the States of this country In thai matter. The responsibility now rests with ihe House. Is that to be the grave. In which nil measures of relief on this subject arc, in this General As'scmbly as In the last, to be buried? Wc hope not.

Slavery created distinctions which pervaded every department of pHhlic action, and which made quite us distinct a mark in social and educational matters as in political. While the wealthier classes could send their sons to Northern colleges, Ihe poorer whites had very poor access to common schools, and the children of the blacks grew up, of course, in ut'er Ignorance. The tln-t necessity of the Si.uth, therefore, under the new ord'-r of things, is education for the great mass of the people, and this the Tins tees of the l'eabody Kund propose to provide. In -electing Dr. Sears as the general agent for carrying their plans for this purpose into . (.-fleet, they have also acted wisely. Dr. Sears is now President of Hrown Uuitcrslty, but has given special attention for many years to Common School Education, and is iui!e as familiar with its principles and b.t methods as any one in tlie country.

In the time w hen Democratic editors had majorities at their backs, and, in the elegant language of the period and the parly, "didn't care a (the pious will plea-e close their eyes to the next word) damn how soon throat-cutting time came 1" The Crisis does not mince matters any more than if it had the majorities and all, the same as of old. It does not rebuke the party leaders for their corrupt action; it does not at'i-mptto conciliate th.; outraged Miisc of juMiee of The Westliote ; it denies nothing it, simply plunges at the victim of thin par ty outrage, and berates him savage! for com plaining of the knavish trick which thwart ed the will of (he pi-'plc and foisted candi-,'i,er, upon tlieiu TTif oi'ifkir own choosing.

He discusses the adequacy of our school agencies from a good stand point to bring about required results, trikes at follies with the directness of a practical educator, and present plainly his reasons for reform in certain departments, lie claims that the greatest disadvantage un- dr which our school system labors is educa tional apathy. The people build school houses, buy books, pay teachers, are proud of their schools, but have uo positive knowl edge of tin in. They do not visit them, do not encourage their children to attend regularly. There is no positive opposition.
